Excerpt from The Sages and Heroes of the American Revolution: Including the Signers of the Declaration of Independence; Two Hundred and Forty Three of the Sages and Heroes and Presented in Due Form and Many Others Are Named Incidentally The history of men should interest every reader. It is the mirror of mind-imparting lessons of thrilling interest, essential improvement, exquisite pleasure-substantial advantage. It is a matter of deep concern to the investigating student. Remoteness increases veneration. Human foibles are buried in the tomb. Faults are often eclipsed by towering virtues-find no place on the historic page and after generations gaze upon a picture of rare perfection, which, as time advances, assumes shades-richer and holier-until it commands the reverence of every beholder. The names of many of the ancients, whose crowning glory was virtue, over whose ashes centuries have rolled, are often referred to with as profound respect as if angel purity had given the impress of Divinity to their every action. A country-a nation may be lost in the whirlpool of revolution-the fame of good and great men is enduring as time. In the persons of the Sages and Heroes of the American Revolution, ancient and modern wisdom, patriotism and courage were combined. Let us join the admiring millions who are gazing on their bright picture and impartially trace the character of those who pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honors in behalf of Freedom. Among them, John Adams was conspicuous. He was a native of Quincy, Mass. born on the 19 th of Oct.(0. S.)1735.
